Description

- No. 872,792. PATENTED DEC. 3, 1907.
' w. v. BOYLE.
WALTER V. BOYLE, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
CRATE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 3, 1907.
Application filed April 16. 1907. Serial No. 368,212.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER V. BOYLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Crates, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to construct a crate for holding a bunch of bananas during shipment, said crate being constructed of wire, and comprising two ring ends and a series of intermediate ring supports connected with the main body portion, and a.
sack supported within the crate within which the bunch of bananas is placed.
In the accompanying drawings, I have shown a perspective view of my improved crate, in which portions of the body and one of the intermediate rings are broken away to more clearly show the construction of the sack and its support.
The top ring 1 and bottom ring 2 are held separated by the body portion 3 of the crate. This body portion 3 is composed of wires eX- tending in the lengthwise direction of the crate but in a spiral manner, and the wires crossing each other forming diamond meshes. The ends of the wires are looped around the top and bottom rings as clearly shown.
The intermediate rings 4 are so located, in this instance to divide the body portion into four sections and loops 5 connect the intermediate rings with the wires forming the body portion.
The lower ring 2 has brace wires 6 which serve to strengthen that end of the crate.
Within the crate is located a sack for holding a bunch of bananas. This sack is composed of the main portion 7 and some distance from its upper end is secured a ring 8. Some distance from the lower end of the sack is secured a ring 9. These rings 8 and 9 hold the ends of the sack in an outstretched condition. the open end of the sack with the top ring 1 of the crate, and rods 11 connect the ring 9 in the'lower portion of the sack with the lower ring 2 of the crate. The rods 11 serve to hold the sack suspended within the crate and the ring 9 in the lower portion of the sack prevents the shifting laterally of the sack within the crate. The lower end of the sack is turned inward and tied, thereby closing it.
A bunch of bananas is placed within the sack and the open end of the sack 12 is gathered around the stem of the bunch and tied. It will be noticed that the sack is suspended within the crate so that it cannot move laterally of the crate, and the weight of the bananas is borne by the closed end of the sack, and when the sack is tied around the stem of the bunch it cannot move laterally, thus the bananas are held suspended within the crate so that they cannot be injured in shipment.
By the diagonal disposed wires forming the body of the crate, in connection with the several rings, a very rigid and substantial crate is produced, and one of comparative lightness.
I claim as my invention.
A banana crate comprising an outer wire frame, and a sack provided with top and bottom rings suspended within the wire frame by means of rings or links attached to the top ring of the sack and to the top portion of the wire frame and rods attached to the bottom portion of the wire frame and to the lower ring of the sack.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WALTER V. BOYLE.
